I'm experiencing a bad smell from my groin area, kind of like sweaty socks, especially when I'm sitting down. This just started about a week ago. A couple of months ago, I had a fungal infection around my anus and did a full course of medication from my doctor. I was prescribed ITZHH capsules and Livafin cream. Right now, I'm using Candid 1 clotrimazole soap, but it doesn't seem to be helping. What should I do?

I recommend adding an antifungal cream such as Terbinafine (brand name Lamisil) twice daily to the affected area. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting clothing, and avoid tight underwear to help prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

It entirely depends on level the burn took place. For mild burns hair regrowth usually takes places once the scalp gets healed.

I've noticed my skin has become really dark and oily, and there's no glow anymore. This isn't related to any genetic issues. When I was about 8 years old, I had frequent cold, cough, high fevers, and stomach pains, leading to taking a lot of medicine. Could that be why my skin changed? I'm hoping there's some kind of treatment to get my skin back to normal. What do you think might help?
Kojiglo cream for local application for atleast 3 weeks is advised.

I've been really struggling with some skin issues lately. My skin's been getting super oily, and I also have a sun tan that's not going away. On top of that, I'm losing hair, which is really concerning me. I've been taking Eslo 5 regularly. Could this possibly be affecting my hair and skin? I'm just trying to figure out what's going on and how I can fix it. Any advice would be appreciated!
Skin getting oily, sun tan, and hair fall can be due to various reasons. To address the oily skin, you can use a topical medication containing Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide gel once daily at night. For sun tan, you can use a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, apply it 20 minutes before sun exposure, and reapply every 2-3 hours. To manage hair fall, you can take Biotin supplements 10,000 mcg once daily. Since you are already taking Eslo 5, which contains Amlodipine for blood pressure management, it is important to continue it as prescribed by your doctor.
